TOKYO--Mobile telephone maker Sony Ericsson needs to raise funds of at least 100 million euros ($135 million) this fiscal year, Sony chief financial officer Nobuyuki Oneda said in remarks published Tuesday.
Sony Ericsson, a joint venture between Sony and Sweden's Ericsson, has various options to raise the cash, including borrowing and a share issuance, he told the Nikkei business daily in an interview.
Sony Ericsson said last month that it would cut 2,000 more jobs after it reported a first-quarter loss of 293 million euros.
The firm has in recent years been trying to focus on fast-growing emerging economies to reduce its dependence on the nearly saturated European markets.
